Dr. Zrenner, professor of Ophthalmology and director Emeritus of the Institute for Ophthalmic Research at the Centre for Ophthalmology of the University of Tuebingen and the project team consisting of research teams from several universities, received the award for their investigations into subretinal implant technology.
Speaking of the award, Dr. Zrenner said: 'It is an incredible honour that such a prestigious community of my peers has presented me with this award. We are proud of the work our team has done to restore useful vision to those suffering from retinitis pigmentosa."
